Video Summary
A 24-year-old soccer player suffered a painful pop in their left foot, leading to the diagnosis of a proximal fifth metatarsal avulsion fracture. Dr. Sagar Wagle discusses different fracture types, including pseudo Jones (avulsion), Jones, and stress fractures. Jones and stress fractures typically heal poorly due to limited vascular supply. Additional cases illustrate distinctions between fracture types and their healing trajectories. A previous case reveals avulsion fractures on both feet, with increased radiotracer uptake visible via bone scans. No established guidelines exist for follow-up radiographs due to potential compromised healing in these fractures.
